Knowing you’ve released 6 indie projects to date, how do you manage to consistently and constantly evolve your style and sound? In what ways have you grown as an artist? I use my surroundings to evolve and I come up with new topics. I come up with most of my music by riding ideas pop in my head. I might see something words start coming then I have a new song. The sound I usually leave it to the producer I work with like when I and DJ Doughboy who did produce the whole Roselle 07203 The next project or music won't sound like that. Most people I work are resting new sounds so when you hear my music you see alot of people say he different. Your single “Black Kids” seemed to have a powerful message that was heard through the lyricism. Can you detail to us your meaning of this song and what drove you to write this? Black people's history In this country is filled with so much love and pain. You know I wanted to write from the perspective of the everyday black man and what he experiences growing up in certain conditions. The fight to overcome obstacles and succeed. That's why the Denzel Clip from the Equalizer 2 Movie when he told Miles played by Ashton Sanders is so important to the intro you got a shot use it while you still alive no excuses we are people who don't throw in the white towel when things get ruff we find away. Let’s talk about the video! We noticed different scenes of statues and portraits of black women and children. In what ways does this element represent the song meaning for you? We shot the video in the Brooklyn Museum. The statues and portraits represent the greatness in the culture it brings out the message I wanted to come across in the video. Black Kids that came up to do legendary and great things. Every piece of art in the video has a historical meaning. Intelligent minds created this. So that's what I wanted to showcase in the music video. Knowing the current market of hip-hop can be filled with club hits. How do you hope the youth digest “Black Kids”? So far the video has 20k views and still going all the people listening and commenting I've seen nothing but love for the video. The club is temporary you have a temporary feeling from it after the music cuts off. Black Kids are something that's gonna last in your mind.

Overflow released his single titled “Bad Mood” and this was a complete banger! Overflow’s bars, cadence, and aggressive delivery was FIRE! He had catchy punchlines alongside a witty and charismatic hook. “Bad Mood “ is the type of song that you can play in the club and the entire room will feel the energy that radiates through the record. The hard-hitting beat alongside the electrifying delivery made the energy quite exhilarating. Not only is Bad Mood a natural musical Gatorade, but it’s highly memorable. It’s the type of song that will become stuck in your head like super-glue and that you won’t be able to escape it. Overflow has many different characteristics to his skill as a rapper which is why he’s a standout artist. Instead of sticking to one formula, he tackles multiple! He shows us that he can be not only marketable to the GP of hip-hop but skillful enough to brand himself through different genres. He’s fusing the two polar opposite musical elements, EDM with RAP. who else do you know has that ability to do this so smoothly? Overflow is undeniably an interesting rapper who we are keeping an eye out on for! As for his single “Bad Mood”, this song is immediately earning a spot on my playlist as a smashing party anthem that I can get hyped to! You can listen to “Bad Mood” by Overflow here Welcome to BuzzMusic OverFlow! What initially inspired you to pursue music and why? To get my message out to the world. For much of my own life, I’ve been silent and have taken a very passive approach to everything. Rapping and producing has allowed me to take a more active role in my own life and I’ve been able to tell people my own views on things rather than just listen to them ramble on. Pursuing music has allowed me to live life as a more authentic self. Tell us about your single “Bad Mood”? What was the main theme you had surrounding this track? When  I make music, I want to be either challenging a topic or expressing a specific emotion. As humans, we can all tap into our own sense of humanity and the feelings that come along with it. This time around, I wanted to embody the feeling of being in a bad mood (Hence the title of the song).  I wanted it to be a song everyone can relate to, regardless of who you are. How would you describe your songwriting approach to “Bad Mood”? I have to be in the correct mental space for me to write on something, especially if it’s about emotion. I will not write if I’m not because then I know that it’s not coming from a genuine place. When someone hears my music, I want them to go, “That’s exactly how I feel”. So when it comes to writing the lyrics, I make sure my mind is where it needs to be and then just go. I’ve been writing for a while now so it’s pretty easy to crank out an idea once I have the foundations. For this song imparticular, I wanted it to have a slightly grimy feel. Did you stumble upon any challenges when creating “Bad Mood”? Mind explaining? Since I do all of the production, I think making the beat was the most challenging thing to do. The lyrics came to me almost immediately. I sent the beat to my friends so many times trying to perfect the arrangement. You can have bars for days but if the arrangement of the track itself is lackluster, no one will want to hear it. So, adding parts like pre-chorus and an intro and making the song flow without slapping on a riser and calling it a day. I’m really happy with the reception of the song too. My style is extremely eclectic and I make whatever I feel like making and this beat comes from my ‘weird’ folder so this is a win! What’s next for you Overflow? I’m planning on releasing a music video next month and dropping a single every 4.5 weeks to keep people on their toes. I got bangers in the reserve and I can’t wait to show you all what I have in store. I’m not even going to say 2020 is my year. I’ll just let everyone watch as it unfolds. instagram.com/project_overflow twitter.com/OverFlowArt #BuzzMusic

From Lowell, MA today we are given the gift of incredible Hip Hop delivery from the amazing Chi Tashi and his new song “Re-Up”. This Hip Hop anthem is known as “Re-Up” hits hard from the song starts, until the end of the song. Starting off, the song opens up with a trap-esq sort of synth that then explodes with powerful vocals. Musically, the synth and beat feel like trap influenced Hip Hop with a hint of Grime. Which is a nice touch for an artist from Northeastern America! Vocally, the performance is reminiscent of Drake and somewhere in the middle of 21 Savage, in the best way possible. Lyrically, the song is about the everyday hustle and grind for this 30-year-old rapper who has transitioned into Fatherhood. The song overall is unique and refreshing, allowing the ears to sit with this and not feel like it’s something you have heard many times before. By the time the song ends, you want more as the song closes in at 2:20. Luckily, there is plenty more of where this track came from! Be sure to keep up to date with Chi Tashi, as we honestly expect much more greatness from this incredible rapper. Re-Up is a song for the times and we are sure that he will continue to re-up with more amazing songs to come! Listen to "Re-Up" here. Hey Chi Tashi and welcome back to BuzzMusic! 2019 has been a big year for you. Can you tell us what was the overall highlight of your year? The recognition, I'll be lying if I didn't say being featured on platforms I respected wasn't gratifying. The release of Nice Things was a highlight for me as well, it's been the biggest song I've released to date. When I recorded it I felt it had the potential to be "something" but it really exceeded my own expectations. We loved your song "Re-Up". What inspired the creation of it? The fact that I haven't released a song since May with Nice Things lol. Robotnik sent over the beat, I loved it, wrote to it that day and recorded that night. I wanted something out there, let people hear some new sounds. This song is VERY different from the album. "Re-Up" showcases your lyrical ability flawlessly. Can you tell us about your writing style and method? I consider my writing style to be direct and have a lot of imagery. I write scripts, I enjoy tv and reading. My favorite authors, screenplay writes, songwriters are able to evoke emotion while putting a vivid image in the audience's head. I look to paint a picture with words, have the listeners experience what I'm experiencing within that song. Beyond that, I've been working on new flows, key. We hear a few different musical influences in this song. Which artist has inspired you the most? I would say this year a big inspiration has been Tyler, I think the Igor album is pretty much flawless. You can tell with this project he mastered his artistry. The attention to detail from the samples and especially with the word choices, I thought he was able to say a lot in limited spaces with his specificity, a technique I applied to this song. I have been playing with different melodies and song structures too, Re-Up really turned out exactly how I wanted it to be. Shouts to Robotnik for the waves. What's next for Chi-Tashi in as we go into 2020? Got my album coming out the first quarter of the year, been working on it for some time now and I'm amped to get it out! More videos, more shows, another project for sure just overall continue to level up the in every facet of my craft and be consistent with it. ChiTashi.com linktr.ee/_chitashi #BuzzMusic

Brae Leni has been making a lot of noise with his feel-good Funk music by bringing the vibe to audiences across America. Today is no different as we take in his masterpiece of “Make Sho’” and we are making sure that you absolutely listen to this ASAP! The song opens up with the classic elements of feel-good funk, from the founding fathers of the genre to even the more recent “uptown funk” and other Bruno Mars hits. However, not trying to give too much credit, but this brand of Funk feels more authentic! The lyrics are amazing, but not totally upfront and in your face. There is a lot happening musically in this song and the lyrics suit as almost a nice compliment to what’s happening musically. However, the lyrics do so in a way that also makes it impossible to not sing along. The infectious lines like “Make Sho’ that you’re feeling, make sure that it’s real” and sung in the melody that it is, you don’t stand a chance. Not only are you dancing and grooving to the Funk Soul beat, but you’re also singing along too. Musically, “Make Sho'” has the upstroke guitar work, the weird synth and the funky bass that we can’t do without. The song also features a ripping guitar solo that just sends this home approx 2/3rd’s in and by that point, you are nothing short of blown away. This has got to be some of the most amazing and fresh music we have heard in the Funk Soul genre. Please, do yourself the favor of making sure to listen to “Make Sho’” by Brae Leni today! Listen to "Make Sho'" here. Facebook.com/blbo501 Instagram.com/braeleni Soundcloud.com/braeleni #BuzzMusic

Riley Phillips is an 18-year-old singer/songwriter, hailing all the way from Roanoke, Virginia! Riley Phillips found his love for music not too long ago, but once listening to his tracks, you'd never guess he's a baby artist in the music scene. Riley's voice is maintained at a level that ensures consistency, and the intricate craftings he chooses to embed and warp is what makes his sound incredibly mellow. His most recent release, titled "Warmth" features components exactly as mentioned, and it's the best collection of what makes Riley Phillips the artist he is. "Warmth" is an incredibly ironic title for the recent song release of Riley Phillips. His voice captures the essence of that warm, at-home feeling, and projects it within listeners. His vocal delivery integrates a very soft and slight rustic sound. There's almost an element that's difficult to name but sounds very exclusive to the soundings of Riley. Nevertheless, we're feeling completely at peace listening to Riley Phillips, which is so incredible to accomplish as an artist. The best thing about artists and their music (at least in our opinions) is the ability for an artist to connect with their listener--being able to change their mood within an instant of listening, all due to the underlying melodies and delicately chosen lyricism. With "Warmth", it's clear to us that Riley Phillips has mastered that ability to connect. Check out "Warmth" here. instagram.com/rileyplaysguitar twitter.com/rileycphillips #BuzzMusic

All the way from the south in Atlanta, GA we have the amazing Lesibu Grand (pronounced Le-See-Boo Grand) and their single “Runnin’ Round”. Indie music can easily begin to feel either unique or like something you’ve heard before. Today, Lesibu Grand brings us an anthemic and super catchy smash that lands on the top half of that statement. The song starts off with the singer's voice saying “are you mad because you can’t hear the music?” and whoever she is saying this to should be mad - as this song rules! The song then rips into a funky jazz-influenced indie-rock performance that takes influence from the NYC new wave scene from artists such as Blondie and The Pixies. Musically, there is nothing missing and the song encourages emotions of being carefree and dancing freely. On the vocal melodies, lead singer Tyler Simone makes her that she does not fall short, at all. The catchy hooks stay with you long after listening to the track and make it easy to sing along! Production-wise, the song speaks to an indie band that is working on a budget, but it absolutely does the job. “Runnin’ Round” is encouraging and gives the vibe that this band can really do something! Make sure you get on Lesibu Grand now, you will be happy you did and maybe you’ll be first on something that ends up going very far! We wouldn’t be surprised. Listen to "Runnin' Round" here. Hi Lesibu Grand! Thanks for chatting with us at BuzzMusic. Can you tell us a bit about the transition between being songwriting partners who flourished into a band? What sparked this? Well, from the beginning we both felt that these songs would best flower with the support of a full band.  While the initial chords and melodies were most often created with acoustic guitar, shortly after we started developing the vibe, rhythm and song structure in Garageband, and later Logic, adding drum machines, bass, keys, and various guitar parts.  And then we set about finding the right musicians who could bring them to life.  We succeeded in that respect because the players we’ve assembled for Lesibu Grand elevated these songs well beyond our first recordings of them.  [Note, we could list out the player's names here BuzzMedia, if you wanted us to]. Tell us about the Atlanta music scene! How has it helped shape your career in the music industry? Atlanta has a very diverse and eclectic music scene.  While its best known for its highly successful hip hop scene, there are lots of other pockets of music, including indie rock, metal, and punk.  Atlanta is home to a collective called Punk.black that celebrates people of color in metal, punk, goth, in addition to cosplay, comics, and the arts generally and they put on awesome shows around Atlanta, NYC, DC and elsewhere.  We draw from all of that and are excited to be playing one of their shows in late December. We love your new song "Runnin' Around". Can you tell us a bit about the creation process? How does each of you contribute to the final product? Thanks so much!  Tyler originated this song by singing the main vocal line of the chorus into her phone while stuck in traffic.  A while later she shared it with me, and we came up with the basic chords.  But then we both had a really hard time coming up with additional lyrics.  Just a creative block that persisted for a while.   Then, we were sitting on a porch on a very hot and humid day in Georgia trying to write something,  and it started to rain really hard.  The cooler air felt great, but we had to back up into the corner to avoid getting soaked.   For some reason right at that time we became unlocked and the rest of the words, and some additional chords, came together.  The song was finally written! "Runnin' Around" showcases your musical ability flawlessly. What's your favorite lyric line in the song? Why? Our favorite lyric from this song would have to be "I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried… to keep up with you but I didn't have the speed” because of the melodic pattern that goes with it. But also, when thinking of how long it took to come up with that line, I remember how relieved we both were when we nailed it on that rain-soaked porch.  Also, because we've all been through a time in our lives where we felt behind and couldn't keep up to where we'd want to be. What's next for Lesibu Grand as we enter a new year? We are putting the finishing touches on our second album, which is much more hard rock and in some cases quite directly political.  We are both positive, sometimes silly people who crack each other up whenever possible, but we’re not blind to what's going on in our country. We’re patriotic people, but we’re not comfortable with what we’re seeing, and we decided without much discussion to tackle it head-on for our next project.  We’ll be using our video-making skills to highlight our points about what’s wrong in America right now.  So be on the lookout for some tough love from Lesibu Grand in 2020! lesibugrand.com instagram.com/lesibugrand facebook.com/lesibugrandmusic #BuzzMusic

My Dark Reality released their piercing new single titled “Ashes to Ashes” and this progressive rock hit is a percussion-soaked and electrifying single that will explode in your ears. “Ashes To Ashes” is the kind of song that will put you in a hypnotic trance with its smashing instrumentation and thunderous vocals. “Ashes To Ashes” gives you this drive into danger and rebellion with its thrilling arrangement that puts your energy at an all-time high. My Dark Reality opens the dimension to rock and roll with “Ashes To Ashes” sculptural combination of edge and grit. We love how My Dark Reality opens the song with an inviting sound of multiple instruments clashing together to create this riveting chaos that you can’t help but love. Rock and roll may not feel as alive as it was in the past, but My Dark Reality is breathing life into the genre. “Ashes To Ashes” proves to be a rousing showcase of the band's enigmatic presence through their music and it’s embroidered with complex effects. Listen to “Ashes To Ashes” by My Dark Reality here. Welcome to BuzzMusic My Dark Reality! Can you tell our readers about the formation of this band? How do you guys manage to fuse together your individual styles to make a unit!? Oz: "This band formed because of God. This band was not by chance. I had just put in a prayer that week for a female vocalist." Grunge: "I had actually been looking for Death and Oz for about 2 weeks prior to me running into Death at McDonald's. I couldn't find them on social media because I kept spelling their names wrong. It's crazy because we all have lived around the corner from each other for the past 4 years. God for sure planned this one." Oz: "Grunge and Death actually studied at Wittenberg University in Springfield, OH together when we first met. I was finishing my own schooling at Antioch University Midwest in Yellow Springs, OH. Whenever I would eat in the cafeteria with my son, Amy would always join us too. I would pick Death up because he and I played in a band together during that time. So, every weekend I would come and take him from the University for rehearsal." Death: "After school, we had not seen each other for years. I remember about 4 years ago, Grunge messaged me about wanting Dad and me to help her in the studio. Dad and I were on a US stateside tour. I just remember replying no, I'm on tour. I even read it to Dad and he was like damn? that's it? At the time I saw no problem with my response. Hindsight...it came off a bit dickish. That was our last talk until McDonald's." Oz: "I remember that Death came home and said you wouldn't believe who I ran into? He told me Grunge, from Wittenberg. When she and I talked on the phone before meeting up for our first rehearsal, I already knew she was supposed to be here." Grunge: "As for how our individual styles mesh...for starters our stage names define our lifestyles. Oz has been doing this longer than Death and I. He has way more knowledge as a musician and is a musical genius in our opinion. I am just...very grungy, as for Death...he lives up to the name." Death: "Yeah, our band is just founded on creativity, expression of the self, and authenticity. We listen to each others music, we listen to all styles, and we keep ourselves open to every member's ideas and input. We make our individual style's mesh because our glue is our love to create music and push boundaries. We don't believe in limitations." Talk to us about your single “Ashes To Ashes”. What was the biggest challenge you had to face when creating this? How did you guys manage to overcome the challenge? Oz: "There wasn't really much of a challenge. When I read the lyrics the music flowed out of me. It resonated. We needed Grunge to complete the song. She is an amazing vocalist who was the icing on the cake for lyrical flow and melody in addition to being a songwriter herself. She completes us." Grunge: "Yeah, when I read the lyrics it resonated. The melody was relatively easy to come up with. It's like...getting on a certain wavelength, that spiritual wavelength. How we overcame our hurdle was just to be open as a band to a new way of doing things." Death: "The real challenge was presenting the lyrics and above all, putting myself out there. I was honestly afraid of being judged given the subject matter of the song. I have always been a very private person. Writing has always been easier for me than talking but I never really presented it to people. In a sense, it's like putting yourself on blast. I wondered if I would be sent to a mental ward or put on medication which wouldn't help at all. Andy Biersack really helped me with overcoming this hurdle. I enjoyed hearing his words on how he dealt with adversity, depression, bullying, personal demons. What really stuck with me to give me the balls to write and present this was Knives and Pens by Black Veil Brides. That song's point is either harm yourself, the knife, or make art, the pen...evetually I picked the pen. I remember when he spoke to the fans at one of the shows about putting away our razorblades...living life...and never giving in. It absolutely broke me down to tears because it hit so hard. I have not met him personally but he has been very impactful in my life. Corey Duffel, the professional skateboarder too. He has got to be one of the gnarliest skaters, people, and is so authentic. I admire his authenticity and strive to be authentic myself. " Grunge: "As an artist, you have to be true to your art." Oz: "Exactly! We talk openly in our band because this band is a family. We overcome obstacles by being each other's strength and support." Death: "For sure, it has been good being able to be open in this band. We preach authenticity and cannot tell others to be themselves if we as a band are not." Oz: "Yeah, walk what you preach." Can you detail to us your songwriting approach towards “Ashes To Ashes”? What was the concept behind the song and what inspired you to curate it? Oz: "Yeah of course. As stated before, in this case, I read the lyrics to Ashes to Ashes. I was out of lyrics but not music. Death, my son, left me with his lyrics for the day and me as sifting through them. Immediately, music flowed from me. Music just does that for me. I can hear a noise, see something, read something and music writes itself." Grunge: "The whole process was very organic for us. We all just write together because this is what we were brought together to do. This band, this music, it's bigger than us. Death writes great lyrics, Oz makes amazing music, and then that allows me to do the melody. " Oz: "Grunge write's lyrics too so she brings melody, musical arrangements, and lyrics as well. We just vibe off of each other and need each other to write our music. It's an equal 3-way writing process." Death: "The concept behind the song actually was my prayer to God for death. I was in the process of spiritual death when I wrote this song. I wrote it while Grunge and I were attending Wittenberg University. That was a suicidal era for me...I was self-mutilating as well. I did not wish to live in this world anymore. I wanted to pass on to the next life. Death is when nothing feels good anymore...when you no longer live but just exist. Darkness is all you see, no light, no sun, nothing. There is no hope. So, the only thing that stopped me from suicide was my loved ones. I am a believer in a natural order of things and passing on to the next life is one of those. At that time, I could not take my life and stare my loved ones and maker in the eyes with a clear mind knowing the pain I left behind. So, I talked to God that night. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, to the ground I'll go 6 feet below, free my heart, free my soul. I have seen the effects of suicide and I couldn't go to my grave that way. I prayed to God...made a deal more so and...I simply asked for death. I made the deal that if this was my path, to pass away, then just do it. If not, then I would just stick it out if there was indeed a plan for me in life. 2 weeks passed and I was finally like f*** man fine I'll stick life out then." Grunge: "Here we are now." Oz:"Yep." Did you guys experiment with any new arrangements when creating “Ashes To Ashes”? Oz: "I remember that I was experimenting with drop D tuning. That is something that I had not really tried much of prior. Once I figured out how that tuning voiced then I tried a few different ideas with Ashes to Ashes. Drop D was more expressive than standard tuning for me. I showed them to my son and the one we play now he said that's the one. I told him, now we just need somebody to sing it right." Death: "For Dad and I, this was one big experiment. Previously, he and I were the only songwriters because we didn't have anyone else who could vibe or complete the circle. Once we met Grunge again that changed everything. It's cool having 3 people to write with." Grunge: "This was odd having guys who could write as fast as they do and vibe the way they do. One of my songs...Sleeping Pills, Oz heard 8 bars and then just wrote the song. I have never seen somebody write so fast." What can we expect to see from My Dark Reality next? Amy: "Well, you're going to see more good music that will allow you to actually express yourself or if you don't know how to express yourself you can find that through our music. So basically just Soul music. That's what you can expect from us is real soul content. I would like to give a big shout-out to Machine Gun Kelly. He is one of my influences because our lives, our lifestyle is literally, we grew up literally the same. Like, he grew up without a lot and so did I. Like if you look at his life story... that's pretty much my life story. Also, his birthday is like literally were literally one month away. So, it makes sense why I resonate with him most." Death: "I know we have some more singles coming in the springtime I think we are anticipating but at least coming here soon. We actually have an EP coming...some cool merchandise and an online music store as well. Oh and a music video as well." Oz: "I'm going to touch on what Grunge said, I think what you can expect from us is you're going to see spirituality in a whole different way for our music. Meaning that our music is straight from the heart. This is probably experiences that other people have gone through. That's why my dark reality is not a bad reality but it's a real reality for where we are right now. I think that that's what they're going to get every time. You know, you play for an audience you are going to get real feelings. We're doing what we love to do. We do what God told us to do and brought us together to do so, I think you're going to see nothing superficial here. This is real life. This is what we write about. This is stuff. We've actually gone through and say yeah, we've been here weeks. We've met the devil before, we've seen hell, we've seen heaven, we've seen, we know there's good, there's evil, there are God and the devil. It's a little bit of everything including things that even hit home with family.

It’s Hip Hop mixed with Rock influence and innovation in songwriting. “Protect Mode” has guitars and Hip Hop drums, with a Hip Hop vocal delivery that stands out about the rest. Vocally, the performance is deep and fairly monotone, however, this is what the song absolutely calls for. Melody wise, talk about an infectious track! Super easy to get stuck in your head and easy to follow along to. However, that’s not to say that it’s juvenile or anything of the sort, it’s totally ahead of the curve and so smart that anyone can get on the same page. Lyrically, the song feels like AJAXX’92 is going in “Protect Mode” for a love interest and isn’t afraid to do whatever needs to be done to protect him and his interests. All and all, a super unique song that is unreal, phenomenal and ahead of the curve! Please do yourself a favor and get on AJAXX’92. He’s a super unique artist that has found spirituality and actually has something worthwhile to say, overall. You and your friends will not be disappointed, nor will you regret giving your ears 2 and a half minutes if this goodness. Listen to “Protect Mode” here. Hi AJAXX'92! Welcome to BuzzMusic! You have been honing your craft since 2008. What has been the biggest accomplishment so far? In 2008 I was a sophomore in High School, so my subject matter, access to better equipment, and overall style were basic at best. I felt the need to lie about a lot of the things I was doing in real life for acceptance, rather than rap about how I was really feeling to establish a sense of connection like all of my influences. So, as of now, I would say my biggest accomplishment is developing the ability to effectively relay exactly how I'm feeling, instead of making a track that people would like. That was a long-winded way of saying I developed self-confidence, and the ability to look at myself. What's it like growing up in the Fairfield music scene? Growing up in the Fairfield music scene was a unique experience because Fairfield is a small, yet dense city in between Vallejo and suburban Vacaville. It's the perfect example of privilege right next to poverty. Most of the local legends I grew listening to would rap about mob mentality. Being that I grew up mostly suburban I couldn't really relate on the level of actually doing these things, however, I always thought the way they would paint the picture was/is dope. So, of course, I tried to emulate it, and I almost lost myself in doing so because it never felt authentic. By the way, there's no living trace of this music anywhere. Thank the Universe! Thanks for sharing your single "Protect Mode" with us. Can you tell us a bit about how you created the song? Did you face any challenges along the way? Protect Mode derives from the Khloe Kardashian and Tristian Thompson situation or scandal mostly. I felt a real connection with what Khloe in regard to giving it all you got no matter how you look in the situation, and the other person shitting all over you. I just applied it to all types of relationships be it a family member, friend, or significant other. More specifically, when I graduated college this year, I had a family that I've always looked up to tell me he was going to be there, and end up texting me he couldn't make it because he woke up late. Now this may seem insignificant, however from the scope of a timeline it is something that consistently happened over my whole life, that day was the last day I have spoke to his person. There is a common misconception that because someone is a family that you're always supposed to forgive them, I don't believe that. I believe that your energy is a rare commodity, and anyone you allow the privilege of being around should treat it as such and vice versa. If you could choose any artist to collaborate with, who would it be? Why? Tough Question, but right now I would say 070 Shake because of how she lays her emotion on a track. It feels so honest and I feel like I'm feeling exactly what she felt while she was making the song while I'm "listening" aka singing the song at the top of my lungs in my car. Her beat selection and subject matter is fire. What's next for AJAXX'92? Well, I always say I would rather have 1 person play a track 100 times than 100 people play my track 1 time, hopefully, this will reach someone to play this track when they need it. I don't really know what's next for me, but I don't try to focus on the future, I'm just trying to make decisions in the present that I can be proud of looking back. instagram.com/ajaxx_92 twitter.com/AJAXX_92 #BuzzMusic

BrYonge released the most charismatic record that I have heard yet. His single “Lazy Baby” was a huge hit due to various reasons! Starting with the production of this record, “Lazy Baby” had an ethereal beat. The beat fused together different FX sounds mixed with creative synths and an intricate futuristic sound. The beat was funky, unique, and idiosyncratic to BrYonge. The lyrics caught our attention the most. The songwriting of “Lazy Baby” playfully gives off the theme of acceptance. BrYonge raps about a girl that has no self-drive about herself and he uses this theme to give catchy bars and punchlines. The delivery wasn’t extra nor too minimal. Instead, it was just right and BrYonge was able to showcase a lot of benefits to his artistry through his smooth-delivery and tough cadence. BrYonge is a unique artist that stands out like a sore thumb. “Lazy Baby” is a song that sounds like it has never been sung, rap, or performed before! This means BrYonge is in his own lane, separate from the other artists that are tackling music. “Lazy Baby” is an uncomparable record that can’t be categorized in one genre since it’s so compelling and complex! We’re excited to see what’s next from this upcoming superstar! You can listen to “Lazy Baby” by Bryonge here. Welcome back to BuzzMusic BrYonge! We have followed your 2019 career closely and we know it's been a big year for you! Tell us about the release of your new album 'Fresh For No Reason'. What's the inspiration behind it and how is it different from your debut mixtape My 2¢? A Jedi Knight on a journey, I don't know how else to put it. I kept seeing myself in a spaceship and I was taking off I was the pilot and I'm flying through space. I'm on a path with a purpose, although I'm not sure who I'll meet or what I will keep. I'm sure I'll go through obstacles where I will be tested. My 2¢ is my raw potential. Your single "Lazy Baby" from the album is fire! It showcases your musical ability effortlessly. What's your favorite lyric line from the song? Ahaa Thank you. I gotta say my fav line is "what's the info F@#k me like a nympho" yeah that one If you could pick any artist to collaborate with on your next record, who would it be? Why? Ouuu wow that's a tough one, I don't really think about it cause it seems so far fetch right now ahhh maybe Pharrell I think he'd be a good influence plus we got the same last name so maybe we cousins?!
